What Is Acjuva?

acjuvaAcjuva claims to be the best acne treatment on the market and even guarantees it will clear up your acne in 14 days. I’ve heard it before but it’s my job to look at this stuff and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised to find Acjuva was a good product. Acjuva uses the popular three step process but it isn’t a generic Proactiv product like I had originally thought. The main difference between the two products, besides price, is the lack of harsh alcohols that tend to irritate the skin. Acjuva makes use of the more natural ingredients like tea tree oil, green tea, aloe vera, chamomile, and DMAE instead of benzoyl. So even though it looks similar you are actually getting a very different product that gets you the same result; clear skin.

The Package

As I mentioned, Acjuva is a three step acne treatment that comes with a cleanser, a renewing toner and a specialized lotion:

  • Acne Cleanser: This all-natural formula gently cleanses dirt and dead skin from your face helping to get rid of current blemishes and prevent new ones.
  • Renewing Toner: The all-natural toner removes excess dead skin cells, unclogs pores and removes excess oil so your skin looks and feels refreshed.
  • Repair Lotion: The specially formulated, all-natural lotion safely moisturizes your face without clogging pores. It contains ingredients that heal blackheads and blemishes and help prevent future breakouts.

Based on the estimates provided by the Acjuva, this three part packet should last up to four months.

Downside

Although benzoyl has a tendency to dry the skin, it has also been the most widely used and effective acne medication for decades. The more natural elements in Acjuva can be just as effective but they aren’t as well tested.

Upside

Not only do you get everything you would with a more expensive brand, you also get the benefit of an all-natural product that yields similar if not better results. You get a better price and it still contains some of the best acne fighting ingredients on the market including:

  • Tea tree oil
  • White willow
  • Green tea
  • Organic Aloe Vera
  • Hydronium 50 (H3O+)
  • Chamomile
  • Lavender
  • Redmond Clay
  • Calendula
  • Comfrey
  • Licorice root
  • DMAE
  • Honey
  • Hyaluronic acid
  • Vegetable glycerin

Conclusion

If you are looking for a more cost effective way to treat acne than what you see every night on TV, Acjuva might be a good substitute. Getting all those celebrities to endorse your product isn’t easy or cheap but it doesn’t make the product any better. You get the same results with a product like Acjuva without paying the overhead associated with getting a pop star to endorse it. On top of that you get a product that makes use of natural ingredients shown to invigorate and rejuvenate the skin rather than irritate it. All in all, I think you get a lot more for your money with Acjuva than just about any other three-part acne treatment package out there.
